Contact sales@dualite.com and provide details of the type of sign or sign project you wish to have quoted. It is helpful to attach a few photos of the property, as well as some details including: property owner contact information; business name; business owner contact information; approximate date you wish to receive your signs or desire completion of installation; brief description of the scope of project you wish to have quoted including the type of signs want; your approximate budget if you know it.

To get a permit for your sign, speak with a representative from Dualite’s project management team. Their detailed expertise will make the permitting process as easy as possible for any customer.

Dualite’s project management team is full of personnel who have an understanding of city codes all across the United States. City code is a very important part of the installation process, therefore Dualite only hires subcontractors who have a clear understanding of the requirements for each sign.

Typical permitting application processing is 2-4 weeks in most areas. However, certain regions, municipalities, and larger cities often have a long, extensive permit-processing timeline that involves multiple meetings and hearing. While cases like these can be time consuming, expensive, and frustrating, they are required and Dualite works diligently to keep administrative costs as low as possible for customers.

Dualite has been in business since 1947.

Dualite’s manufacturing facility is located near Cincinnati, which is a prime location to ship anywhere in the United States. Customers can expect their sign within two days after shipment.

Dualite guarantees sign faces will last anywhere from three to eight years (depending on the type of face).

Dualite can build a sign specifically tailored to any business. The customer’s desired sign will be delivered, beginning with a design team that will work with the customer to manufacture the perfect sign for their business.

Customization can drive up costs for any project. However, Dualite's experienced account managers are extremely skilled at project management, scope development, and defining customer requirements. All of these factors combined allow Dualite to offer highly customized solutions at a value for customers when the need arises.
